Melissa, a friend from college, recently mailed me this postcard that she and her friend Paige had written for me when they went to Italy, oh, almost 20 years ago (they never got around to sending it). It made me giggle, and it made Adam giggle, even though he doesn't know Melissa or Paige. It also made me nostalgic for postcards—not just ones sent from travelers, though I miss those, too, but also postcards sent to/from friends. When I was younger, I loved sending random postcards to all sorts of friends. Now I think it would seem like I have too much time on my hands, or like I need to grow up. And maybe I do, on both counts. Anyway, I'm grateful to Melissa for sending it, though she probably should've sent it to Paige. Paige was a firecracker back in the day.
